Read by Caitlin Davies, Kirby Heyborne, Joe Barrett.
The panic unleashed by a mysterious contagion threatens the bonds of family and community in a seemingly idyllic suburban community. The Nash family is close-knit. Tom is a popular teacher, father of two teens: Eli, a hocky star and girl magnet, and his sister Deenie, a diligent student. Their seeming stability, however, is thrown into chaos when Deenie's best friend is struck by a terrifying, unexplained seizure in class. Rumors of a hazardous outbreak spread through the family, school and community. As hysteria and contagion swell, a series of tightly held secrets emerges, threatening to unravel friendships, families and the town's fragile idea of security.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

I did not love this book submitted by Judeyblu on August 15, 2015, 1:35am but I listened to it all.
all long 8 cds.
By my count, Abbott used the word 'mouth' 37 unique times, to describe 37 unique mouths.
She used the word 'white' well over 50 times.
"tights" at least 23, and 'furry' around 18.

I wish I could say that it made a point, but it didn't.
Maybe it is a subtle literary device, but I found it annoying.

OK- the plot.
It was the Crucible all over again, hysteria, weeping, threats, lust- and that's just the parents.
Just- no.
